Since the arrival of this government into office, notable
achievement were massively recorded within a relative period of two years,
ranging from restoration of peace, security, agriculture, jobs opportunities,
rehabilitation /construction of new roads and lots more. Below is a brief and
short countdown of some of his achievements.
Restoration of Peace: peace is
basically the backbone of every
developed society; it is the
foundation in which developments are been laid and made. Like the Gov.
Often says ‘give me peace & I’ll give you development’.
Within short period of his coming into
office, he made moves to warring communities with the aim of reinstating peace
& harmonious coexistence between them, community head of the affected areas
where met with and had deep heart-heart talks, strict measures were taking like
the organizing of peace meetings in wukari LG & others. Since DDI”came in to office, there have been
no notable wars or community clashes.

Construction/Rehabilitation of roads:
transportation, accessibility plays a vital role when it comes to economic development of a city, one of the giant
strides of the DDI administration and the rescue team is the complete
rehabilitation of roads, repairs of damaged ones and also creation of culverts
& drainages within the state capital
(Jalingo) and other LGs. Worthy to note is the construction of
-Roadblock to kona road: This has been as old
as Taraba itself but little or no attention was paid to it, until the arrival,
of DDI & the rescue team, in no time the road was reconstructed into modern
& civilized form, giving the people of the area a sense of belonging and
giving Taraba a more city-like look.
-Magami road,
-construction of drainages,
-Expansion of road in some part of jalingo

Tsu strike: on taking the oath of office, one of
the biggest challenges faced was the debt in which the state was left in, and
the Taraba state university strike, the strike which lasted for over 5months because of inability to meet up the ASSU
demand was immediately called-off, within a short period of time.
The governor in his generosity coupled with
experience and value for education, went extra mile by leasing with Asuu, NLC
& all the affected bodies and smiles returned to the faces of student.
With no doubt development in Taraba state is
audible to the deaf and even visible to the blind.
